No, it was not the noises of an asylum, but from a very productive and fun lesson on a discovery of different cultures as part of our 'Caravans' unit.
The three teams were competing at various activities in order to work out what countries different pieces of music, samples of food and languages came from.
This work is the first in a project that the students will be producing in order to design an International Food Court for a local imaginary mall. Students will be designing the restaurants, the decor, the menus and any other areas they feel necessary to make their food courts the best!
At the moment, it can honestly be said that Social Studies is the students' most enjoyable lessons of the week.
At the moment, 'The World Conquerors' have made the most money on their adventures, 'The Mighty Shark Fins' have visited the most cities in the world and 'The US Marine Adventurers' who have been rather unlucky of late with their 'fate cards', are working really hard to stack up their money piles and move across the globe!
Keep watching for more updates on 'Caravans'.
Below are some photos of our special lesson!
Fidelia is hesitant to try the guacamole, Gaby sticks to the tortilla chips, Hee Won very studiously writes down his results, whilst David giggles at his English Fudge!
Jonathan tries, unsuccessfully, it looks, to persuade the others to have a try of the rice dish! Giomino was so good at trying everything - even if he did have to spit out the vegemite sandwich!
The great puzzle of where to place the last few phrases - is this Danish? Finnish? German? ...or maybe it's Tagalog!
Lennart trying to stop Jin Hee from eating all the tortilla chips - "We have to try EVERYTHING...not just the nice things!"
